Review: Silk, Vol. 0: The Life and Times of Cindy Moon

Silk, Vol. 0: The Life and Times of Cindy Moon
Silk, Vol. 0: The Life and Times of Cindy Moon by Robbie Thompson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Fine? Okay? Pretty alright?

I think the art was my favorite part. It was kind of fun and cartoon-y, but the depictions still had weight and looked like people. Even out of costume, they worked. Nice to see a JJJ who’s not a complete dickhead too.

But again, it all feels pretty…Peter Parker.

Cindy Moon has nearly identical powers, works at the Daily Bugle, and is a crime-fighter who has some personal problems as well. There are differences that could have been expanded and exploited, but I don’t think they were, so much.

I think this complaint just goes in the category of being a long-time Spider-Man reader and having already seen a lot of what I see here. I think a lot of people who haven’t read WAY too much Spider-Man might enjoy this more, and maybe people who never connected with the character or are looking for a different angle. It’s not really a complaint about this book, more of an issue where I think it’d be tough for me to enjoy this one simply because there’s nothing new under the sun. Or, wait, under the MOON! Because she’s Cindy Moon! YES! I DID IT!
